One notable one being an egg collection task. We also came across one or two activities which weren’t explained massively well. You can shoot down drones which map out the area, but I wasn’t entirely sure what half of the stuff was. You’re kind of just thrown in and have tons of side objectives with little context for what they do.
I think it serves its purpose, but I do hope there’s more of an introduction to its world. Just briefly, what do you think of Second Extinction's open world? I like it and think it looks good visually, but perhaps lacks a bit of variety right now?ĭaniel: The open world is okay.
SECOND EXTINCTION XBOX PRICE FULL
It’s something that could only work in an open world setting like this and makes each adventure feel fresh and full of dread - I loved it.įraser: Absolutely, it was a lot of fun and terrifying at the same time! The map is split into areas of different threat levels, so you usually know if you're in for a challenge, and there's actually a feature called the War Effort in which the community shapes how those threat levels change across the map over time, which sounds pretty cool. We had a pretty intense encounter fairly early on by simply heading to a side objective, and I think those random frantic firefights really add some uniqueness compared to the games it’s inspired by. We’re not massively levelled up, but every game seemed to have us earning new toys to play with, which was great! I also kind of loved how fast we were getting new gear. It’s going to make hunting down multiple of these bigger beasts worthwhile, and eventually easier.
SECOND EXTINCTION XBOX PRICE UPGRADE
You break parts off of dinosaurs, which are then used to upgrade your character.
At the risk of mentioning it again, it’s something else that’s reminiscent of Monster Hunter. I used a sniper rifle and every shot felt powerful and punchy.ĭaniel: Yeah, it seems that way with the T-Rex. I’ll echo the gunplay, it felt fantastic. It’s pretty barebones with what it is right now, but everything feels great so far. I think that’s basically the best way to describe the game - pure fun. I feel like the gunplay is largely satisfying, the enemies have relatively good AI and never give you a breather for very long, and the game doesn't take itself too seriously - I love that dinosaurs sometimes explode and ragdoll into the air when you kill them, which might be a glitch (remember, Second Extinction is launching in early access on Xbox), but it creates some hilarious and memorable moments.ĭaniel: Haha, yeah! That’s a lot of fun. And then at the end of each mission, which typically last around 30 minutes to an hour, you have to survive an onslaught for an extra minute-or-so to extract and retrieve your rewards, which is very reminiscent of Left 4 Dead.Īnd as you say, it's a lot of fun. It’s a lot of fun!įraser: Yeah, so essentially you're grouping up as a squad of up to three players (online only, but matchmaking is available), dropping into this world and trying to complete a variety of tasks while fighting off hordes of these mutated dinos. It takes place in an open world, filled with a variety of different biomes, mission objectives, and of course, blood thirsty dinosaurs to fight.
It combines the ferocious, lengthy battles found in the former with the fast-paced co-operative action of the latter. Here's what we thought of Second Extinction.įraser Gilbert (News Editor, Pure Xbox): Right then! Just give us a little intro Dan, what is Second Extinction?ĭaniel Hollis (News Reporter, Pure Xbox): Second Extinction is basically a mash-up of Monster Hunter and Left 4 Dead. There's a lot of buzz in the Xbox community surrounding the release of co-op dinosaur shooter Second Extinction, which arrives on Xbox Game Pass as part of the early access Xbox Game Preview program this Wednesday, April 28.Īhead of its launch, we had a chance to go hands-on with the game this past weekend (pre-day one patch), and as it's a co-op focused game, we thought we'd do things a little different with this hands-on preview by getting the opinions of a couple of staffers on the Pure Xbox team.
